Risks and challenges

In general, we fund our games with our own money. This is the first time we decided to try a different method of getting our games out to the world. We would really like to offer this game for free so more people can enjoy our games. For that, we need your help! We hope our backers can help us reach our stretch goals and enjoy the extra expanded features! Otherwise, the game will be a commercial release with limited content.
